Can Low-Temperature Ceramic Processing Help Coat Silver Objects?

AI Thread Summary
Low-temperature ceramic processing may present challenges when coating silver objects due to the difficulty of achieving a good interface between the two materials. The designer seeks to cover a silver plate with a thin ceramic shell that would need to break easily to reveal the silver underneath. It is noted that combining ceramics and metals, especially at high temperatures, can be problematic. A potential solution involves using a middle layer to enhance adhesion and facilitate the peeling of the ceramic while ensuring a fine finish on the silver. Further exploration of low-temperature ceramics or suitable plastics with similar properties is suggested to improve the coating process.

I would like to find out more about low-temperature processing ceramics.
I'm a product designer and I am working on covering silver objects with ceramics but I am having some problems combining the two materials.

Can anyone help me?

What are you trying to coat the silver with? I suspect you'll have a hard time getting a good interface. More information would be helpful.
 
I'm trying to coat a silver palte with a thin ceramic shell. This ceramic shell would act as the pachage and in order to achieve the object you would have to break this ceramic package.
I've learn that ceramic and metal are difficult to combine specially when heated up together.
Some what I'm looking for is some kind of low temperature cooking ceramic (or plastic with similar breaking properties).
It will probably have to be a middle layer between the silver and the ceramic material in order to facilitate the peeling of the ceramic and gurantee the fine finishing of the silver.

thank you for your time :)
 

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
